Convert moves of references to copies in ReferencePropagation
This is a fix for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/141101.
The root cause of this miscompile is that the SsaLocals analysis that MIR transforms use is supposed to detect locals that are only written to once, in their single assignment. But that analysis is subtly wrong; it does not consider `Operand::Move` to be a write even though the meaning ascribed to `Operand::Move` (at least as a function parameter) by Miri is that the callee may have done arbitrary writes to the caller's Local that the Operand wraps (because `Move` is pass-by-pointer). So Miri conwiders `Operand::Move` to be a write but both the MIR visitor system considers it a read, and so does SsaLocals.
I have tried fixing this by changing the `PlaceContext` that is ascribed to an `Operand::Move` to a `MutatingUseContext` but that seems to have borrow checker implications, and changing SsaLocals seems to have wide-ranging regressions in MIR optimizations.
So instead of doing those, this PR adds a new kludge to ReferencePropagation, which follows the same line of thinking as the kludge in CopyProp that solves this same problem inside that pass: a5584a8fe1/compiler/rustc_mir_transform/src/copy_prop.rs (L65-L98)
This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
